Is anyone else having the same problem as I am trying to update my Galaxy S2 on Kies? I have the current version of Kies, each time I try to run the Firmware update the Kies disconnects itself from my phone and thus doesn't upgrade the Firmware. I'm about to shove my fist through the screen, anyone else had this problem that can suggest a fix?

I bought it over a year ago on the knowledge that it would upgrade to the newer Android, it never did. The S2 is the worse phone I've ever had and after 4 years of giving android a chance I fear I'm going to the dark side, iOS

It's probably best just to switch to a phone that is developed and gives you a better service. If I buy a new car I want to go back to the manufacturer for repairs and service, not some guy in a backstreet garage wielding a drill offering low mileage.

Interesting thread ... as I said on another thread a few weeks ago I am a " Smartphone Virgin " having bought my first such phone , a Samsung Galaxy , this year . I downloaded the Kies Software to enable me to sync to Microsoft Outlook and transfer / import Word, Excel and other Microsoft files including video clips ... everything seems to work ... I was prompted and tempted to update firmware ... fortunately I did not and now will not go down that route ... I am happy with what I have .
